When it was revealed that the UK Covid-19 Inquiry's official Twitter account followed just one other account, @DownWithTheSNP, its agenda became somewhat clearer. Nicola Sturgeon was crucified for deleting her covid Whatsapp messages, but when Scottish Secretary Alister Jack admitted to doing the same, the response was muted. Jack said, "Scotland office's role is to be the defender, the safeguarder of devolution", but also said the UK Government is legislating to centralise response to future emergencies without input from devolved administrations.

The so-called Scottish media outdid themselves this week in SNP/Scotland bad. STV bleated that the First Minister's house repairs cost taxpayer £855,000, omitting the fact that this was National Trust-owned Bute House. The BBC wholeheartedly backed Labour and Tory calls for the National Clinical Director Jason Leitch to be sacked, after Whatsapp messages revealed he described a female Labour MSP as a "new girl" and said a Tory MSP had been "harrumphing like a child". (England's chief medical officer Chris Whitty said Scotland had "blazed a trail" with its health policies.) And Humza Yousaf used expletive language to describe former Labour MSP Neil Findlay. Entirely understandable if you ask me.

A Question Time audience member pointed out that the UK government doesn't pay any attention to Scots. Anas Sarwar responded with "we have influence, we have MPs there". Ian Murray claimed more Scots will head to London if Humza Yousaf raises taxes. And Jeremy Corbyn was a lone voice in the party calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and recognition of the state of Palestine.

Alister Jack, the so-called "Secretary of State for Scotland of the United Kingdom" - yes, really - welcomed the Court of Session’s ruling that the UK Government can block Scotland’s gender reforms from becoming law. The Scottish Government challenged the initial Section 35 order because the reforms were supported by a majority of MSPs.

'King' Charles was one of two royals who are said to have enquired about the skin colour of Harry and Meghan's first child. In an unrelated revelation, Charles has been profiting from the deaths of thousands of people who failed to write a will. And this week the monarch travelled to Dubai, undoubtedly by private jet, to lecture the Cop28 conference on climate change.
